Officers from the Saskatoon RCMP detachment say they believe someone is leaving bombs in rural mailboxes.
According to an RCMP news release, officers have seen seven mailboxes damaged by explosive devices in the last 24 hours.
On Sunday officers were called to Sunset Estates in the RM of Blucher, about 25 kilometres east of Saskatoon, with reports that several mailboxes were broken into and suspicious objects were left in them. Police say that one of them was damaged by an explosive device.
Just before 10 a.m. on Monday, the Saskatoon RCMP were alerted to another bomb in a mailbox — this time on Rural Road 3040 in the RM of Corman Park.
Officers discovered that seven bombs were placed in mailboxes in the area, and six of them detonated.
No injuries have been reported, police said.
The Saskatchewan RCMP’s explosive disposal unit is also investigating.
The RCMP is cautioning residents not to handle any suspicious or unknown devices found in mailboxes.
If you have any information about the incidents, you can call the Saskatoon RCMP or send a tip to Crime Stoppers.
